CLARIFY SKIN CONDITIONS
Sensitive skin is often reactive to extreme temperatures such as cold, heat, abrasive and alcohol based skin care products which compromise the acid mantle. Sensitive skin is prone to red veins, acne rosacea, fine lines and dryness. Using skincare products and having facials that protect, hydrate and restore the essential Lipid balance can promote a resilient skin. Avoid treatments involving steam, scrubs, micro-dermabrasion and deep skin peels and incorporate a daily home routine with the Ageless cleanser, HA serum and Illumine Moisturiser with SPF 50, which will help to withstand environmental challenges.

Best Ingredients for Sensitive Skin Concerns
FAQ
Why does my skin react when I introduce new products to my routine?
The skin serves as the body's primary defence, guarding against unfamiliar substances. When introduced to new ingredients, the skin can interpret them as potential threats, leading to reactions such as inflammation, redness, and itching. Often, these responses are misconstrued as negative reactions, causing users to discontinue the product. This likelihood of reaction increases when the skin's acid mantle is compromised with harsh or abrasive products prior or when new potent products are used.
How can I gradually introduce a new product to my skin to ensure compatibility?
Start with a patch test to see how a small area of your skin responds. If there's a reaction, stop use and let your skin recover. Reintroduce gradually, perhaps 2-3 times a week initially.
This phased approach allows skin cells to acclimatise to new ingredients, reducing the chance of adverse reactions.
What should I avoid if I have acne rosacea and why?
If you have acne rosacea you should avoid triggers known to aggravate the condition, such as spicy foods, alcohol, and extreme temperatures. Prolonged sun exposure can also worsen symptoms, so always wear sunscreen and keep away from prolonged direct sun. Moreover, avoid harsh skincare products with alcohol or strong acids as they can irritate the sensitive skin and intensify redness.
After having acne rosacea, I started getting red veins, what should I steer clear of?
Avoid direct sun exposure, harsh skincare products, spicy foods and alcohol, and heat treatments as they can trigger flare-ups. Moreover avoid any treatments that involve scrubs, steam, microdermabrasion, suction or any needle based facials.
My acne prone skin flares up with most products I use, why?
After using harsh drying acne products, the skin often reacts because it's stripped of its natural oils, causing it to overcompensate by producing excess sebum, which can aggravate acne and lead to further inflammation and sensitivity. If your skin's protective barrier is compromised, it can be more reactive to unfamiliar skincare ingredients.
Will my sensitive skin ever become normal?
Certainly! If your skin's sensitivity stems from external triggers such as skincare products or lifestyle choices, making appropriate adjustments can bring noticeable relief. For those facing hormone-induced sensitivities, seeking guidance from a hormone specialist can balance these imbalances, fostering a return to a more balanced skin state.
